Rio-Personal Narrative

Improved Essays
Rio, home of the pulchritudinous forest and flavorful food. I had never spent my vacation on such a remote, peaceful, and beautiful island. The live band that played every night on the beach was phenomenal. The food had an astounding taste. I could hear the birds chirping in the morning and the dolphins whistling in the night. The feel of the breeze through my room window at night, made everything feel so magical. There was always something fun to. The banana boat rides, the hang gliding rides, the parasailing rides were all fun not to mention the other rides they had as well. The last day I made sure I went and got me a massage.

Our driver, Julio, took us to the middle of the ocean, the view just phenomenal. On the way back to shore, a dolphin jumped over our heads from one side of us to the next side and back into the water. Everything felt like slow motion. I could examine the dolphin in full detail. I could see the dolphins light grey eyes and could I even see the dolphins scar it had on the left side of its tail. I had never been so close to see a dolphin so

    When I think of a stunning place I think of the Dominican Republic. It’s a place where you can hear the ocean waves crashing upon the sand and feel the breeze blowing in your face.

It’s a place where you can taste the juicy steak and all the tropical flavors filling your empty stomach as you overlook the beach and the joyful tourists having fun on the beach. Where you can wake up every morning to the beautiful beach and turquoise water.…
